​Willow Smith’s Tongue Ring Is Fake

Willow Smith, 11, who has a few film credits and songs of her own, has posted an Instagram picture in which she appears to sport a tongue piercing, but it was difficult to figure out if it was real or not.

However, she later admitted it was a fake, but not before a lot of people expressed their outrage, amusement and indifference regarding the matter, obviously caring enough to make her name trend around the world on Twitter.

As @adamdcomedy put it, “Willow Smith was trending because she faked a tongue piercing? Wow. Normal kids have to fake being in a balloon for all that attention…”

Many referenced “Whip My Hair,” her hit song from 2010.

“Willow Smith got a Tongue Ring at the age of 11. I’m gone whip her and her parents back & forth,” offered @GloZell.
